This Part Fixes These Problems

Violent Shaking / Walking

Washer shakes excessively or moves across the floor during the spin cycle due to worn suspension rods that can no longer dampen tub movement.

Loud Banging Noise

Tub slams against the cabinet walls at high spin speeds when suspension rods are too weak to control oscillation.

Tub Sagging / Tilting

Wash tub hangs abnormally low or tilts to one side under load because one or more suspension rods have lost spring tension or snapped.

Repeated Unbalanced Load Errors

Control board triggers repeated off-balance fault codes even after redistributing laundry, caused by rods that can no longer self-correct tub imbalance.

Poor Water Extraction / Wet Clothes

Weakened rods prevent the tub from reaching full spin speed consistently, leaving clothes wetter than normal after the spin cycle.

Product Description

Why Choose Our W10780045 Suspension Rod Kit?

🔧
Built to OEM SpecificationsEngineered to match the original W10780045 spec: ~25.5 in. rod length, rated spring tension, and precision-fit ball cups — restoring factory-level tub stability from day one.
📦
Complete 4-Rod Kit — Nothing Extra to BuyEach kit ships with 4 suspension rods, 4 suspension balls, and 4 bushings — everything needed for a full replacement in one box. No partial kits, no hidden add-ons.
🏷️
Broad Cross-Reference CoverageDirectly replaces AP5971396, W10537442, W10537443, W10622030, W10645652, W10748953, W10748955, W10780045VP, W10780053, W10821951, W10821956, PS11703288, and 4282746 — one part number covers them all.
🌐
Multi-Brand CompatibilityFits top-load washers sold under Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Roper, Crosley, Inglis, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Norge nameplates — all using the same Whirlpool-platform tub design.
🔩
Durable Anti-Corrosion ConstructionRods are formed from coated metal alloy with premium silica-gel spring inserts, resisting rust and fatigue even under repeated overload stress — a common failure mode with worn OEM parts.
⚡
DIY-Friendly — No Special Tools RequiredThe only tools needed are tape, pliers, and a 1/4" nut driver. Most homeowners complete the repair in 30–45 minutes without professional help, saving $150+ in service call fees.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Suspension Rods Are Failing

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Washer shakes violently or "walks" across the floor during the spin cycle

⚠️ Loud banging or clunking noises, especially at high spin speeds

⚠️ Wash tub visibly sags or tilts lower than normal when loaded with clothes and water

⚠️ Unbalanced load errors repeat even after redistributing laundry

🔍 Quick Bounce Test: Push down firmly on the agitator or wash plate, then release. If the tub bounces more than once or twice before settling, the suspension rods have weakened and need replacement. Replace all 4 rods at the same time — mixing old and new rods causes uneven damping and premature re-failure.

📦 What's in the Box

✅ 4× Suspension Rods (~25.5 in. / 647 mm each)

✅ 4× Suspension Balls (snap-fit cup style)

✅ 4× Bushings / Ball Housings

Questions & Answers

Does this kit include all 4 suspension rods, or do I need to order multiple kits?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
This is a complete kit — it includes all 4 suspension rods, 4 suspension balls, and 4 bushings in one package. You only need to order one kit to do a full replacement on your top-load washer.
How do I know if my suspension rods are bad before ordering?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
The easiest test is the bounce test: push down firmly on the agitator or wash plate and let go. If the tub bounces more than once or twice, the rods are worn. Other signs include loud banging during spin, the washer 'walking' across the floor, or the tub visibly sagging when loaded.
What is the length of the suspension rods in this kit?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
The rods in this W10780045 kit measure approximately 25.5 inches (647 mm) when unloaded. This matches the OEM specification for compatible Whirlpool-platform top-load washers. If you previously purchased a kit and received longer rods (~26–27 in.), note that length can vary slightly between production runs — always verify fitment by model number.
Is this part compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, and Amana washers — or only Whirlpool?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Yes! Because Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Crosley, Inglis, KitchenAid, Admiral, and Jenn-Air top-load washers share the same Whirlpool-designed platform, this kit fits all of them. Check the compatible model list or enter your model number in our fitment checker to confirm before ordering.
Can I replace just one or two rods, or do I have to replace all 4 at the same time?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
We strongly recommend replacing all 4 rods as a complete set. Suspension rods wear at a similar rate, so leaving old rods next to new ones creates uneven spring tension — this causes the tub to remain off-balance and can trigger the same shaking and banging problems almost immediately. Replacing the full kit also means you won't have to open the machine again for a long time.
